Kurtis Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Qatar

Qatar is a small, high-income market where department stores, mall retailers and a large migrant workforce create steady demand for both branded fashion and affordable basics.

Buyers here are importers in Doha supply mall brands and hypermarkets; contractors and facility firms buy workwear and uniforms in volume; hotels and hospitality groups reorder staff uniforms.

Shoppers buy modest, good-quality cottons, white and pastel shirts, polos and trousers, with strong demand for abayas, thobes, kidswear and sportswear; workwear buyers want durable, easy-care fabrics.

Hot summers favour light fabrics from April to October. Buying peaks before Ramadan, Eid, National Day (18 December) and the start of the school year.

Goods are cleared at Hamad Port through the Qatar customs system with commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin; Arabic and English labelling of fibre and origin is usual. Check current rules with your broker.

Duties and taxes: GCC customs duty (no VAT at present). Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

Timing decides whether kurtis sell at full price or at a discount in Qatar. Hot summers favour light fabrics from April to October. Buying peaks before Ramadan, Eid, National Day (18 December) and the start of the school year. For kurtis specifically, orders for Eid, Diwali, Navratri and wedding seasons are placed 3–4 months early; casual cotton kurtis sell year-round, with summer lines peaking from January. Our lead time is 30–45 days including sampling; 20–25 days on repeat designs, plus sea transit of about 5–10 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of kurtis in Qatar include ethnic-wear boutiques in the UK, US and Gulf, online fashion marketplaces, wholesalers supplying festive stock and retail chains with a South Asian customer base. Around Doha and Al Rayyan, they usually order 300 pieces per design with up to 4 colours; 1,200–1,500 pieces per container order for mixed designs is common and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Because the climate in Qatar is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For kurtis we recommend Cotton cambric and voile 90–120 GSM, with cotton-linen and slub cotton as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

Sizes: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques. Colours: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make kurtis in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Qatar market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

To control returns, we measure a fit sample of each block, grade it carefully, and check measurements on every carton sample against the spec sheet, with particular attention to length, bust and sleeve.

The kurti has moved well beyond South Asian communities. Women in Africa, the Gulf, Europe and North America now buy kurtis as relaxed tunics, and retailers add them for the comfort and print. We work with units in Jaipur, Delhi, Kolkata and Surat that print, embroider and stitch under one roof, which keeps the timeline short.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Hamad Port, about 5–10 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Qatar; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Folded in individual polybags with design and size stickers, 40–60 pieces per carton. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold, dry in shade, iron on reverse; embroidered pieces should be washed separately.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
